In this private Expedition I guide you through the Deep Velvet Yes Process—beyond muddled thoughts & emotions and straight to the whispers of your heart. You come out of this 3-phase inner journey with a sustainable plan of action, that is in integrity as a true expression of who you are, within the context of where you are.
in a jungle of choices, find your deep velvet yes.
If it hadn’t been for you & the conversation we had, I would have wasted my time trying to force something to happen.
—Michelle
you may not have been able to get your feet on the ground and figure out your way forward because you haven’t been totally honest with yourself.
Let me be clear. By that I mean: the foundation of our work rests on 3 interwoven threads:
being honest about what your yes and no is
being clear about what your yes and no wants to do
taking into account the context of the situation you are in.
It’s probably not that you don’t want to be honest with yourself. Maybe you just haven’t been able to slow down enough to hear your Truth. Or you haven’t been asked the right questions or you’ve been avoiding the discomfort of not knowing, or the consequences of knowing.
And, honestly, that’s okay.
Thing is: we are here now.
The official translation of Wegweiser is signpost.
But I like to tease that word apart and look at what it is made of.
I find this process of seeing the smaller parts of a bigger puzzle to be helpful with many things, not just words.
To be fair the translation of Wegweiser as signpost is useful. A signpost indicates to watch for falling rocks or to slow down because of a sharp bend in the road.
But when pulled apart Wegweiser becomes more poetic, more easeful: “weg” is path and “weiser” can be translated as either “sage”, “wiser”, or “wise” (the masculine version of wise, as in wise man).
Simply by looking at this word from a different angle, we have expanded our possibilities, created space for another, more easeful, way forward.
From this perspective Intuition becomes not just a passive wooden sign but a wise sage path that is available at every fork in the road.
I don’t know about you but that perspective shift makes my whole body soften into a deep velvety yes.
Which means that my internal defense systems are no longer blocking my view of the path forward.
This is where most people get off course.
Which is to say: they don’t know the voice, the feel, the sound, the tickle of their Knowing, their intuition in the membranes of their body.
Whether you’re nose-to dirt with a big decision, working on a passion project (or wish you were), or feeling your way through an overwhelming fog of information and options, that’s where a private Intuition Expedition comes in handy.
Over the course of a 3-phase Expedition I will guide you through the Deep Velvet Yes Process to partner with your intuition to:
get clear about the situation you are in (it sometimes isn’t what you think it is),
see where your power lies in the situation,
how your Essence would really love to move forward,
circle back to the context to make sure we haven’t missed vital information
and then we put the how to the what and make a simple, do-able, sustainable plan of action.
For me it often feels like diving into a jungle, pulling vines and branches out of the way to make a path through, sometimes getting bit by a mosquito, other times being sung to by the dream of a hummingbird’s wings helping us persist through the tangled web until suddenly a path becomes clear. We follow the path and it leads you to the most beautiful beach view you’ve ever seen, a clam* ocean stretching out to the horizon.
*(& when I say “clam ocean” I really meant to write a “calm”. Clam was a typo but I left it cuz my heart was tickled when I read clam ocean. That small switch in two letters feels a bit like what the epiphanies and discoveries in the Expedition can be like. They might be small or big but they always have a sense of “What an unexpected delight.” And isn’t that the sweetness of life that many of us crave?)
I am a truth see-r, heart hear-er, and truth teller. I am an Intuitive Decision Making Coach & Strategist, creator of the “Sincerely, Your Intuition” card deck, founder of the Basel Tarot Meetup, instigator of more in-person events and workshops on 3 continents than I’ve taken the time to count. I am certified by the International Coaching Federation and have a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work with an emphasis in Psychology.
Each Private Intuition Expedition is separated into 3 stages to help you tune into your intuition and get clear on your next step and then actually do the thing your intuition guides you towards.
Every successful Expedition begins with solid preparation.
This is where we set up what you want to get out of the expedition. This stage is about:
creating time and space to slow down
going inward
getting clear about what you’re really looking for
getting clear about what you’re needing
enter into an emotional commitment and an collaboration with this journey.
After your booking is complete you will receive Stage 1 instructions via email. The Preparation Stage is completed in your own space. You will need: 45-60 minutes, a quiet space, access to online Field Notes Guide & wifi. I love combining it with any rituals you may already have for slowing down & tuning in. For me that means a cup of coffee and a view of pine trees.
Once the stage has been set in the Preparation Phase we go into the jungle to explore more deeply—to find your deep velvet yes.
This is where we meet in person in my private studio in Basel or in my private online meeting room. I guide you through the tangled vines of your situation and into the guidance and knowing of your intuition. For each person this will look very different as it is based on your needs, not a one-size-fits-all prescription.
This phase is fully personalized to you and your needs. Some of the tools I pack in my metaphorical Deep Velvet Yes backpack are (although I often prefer to think of these tools as ingredients in my kitchen cupboard):
tarot & oracle cards
Body Talk
Parts Work
Focusing
broad-based knowledge of many systems (for ex Human Design, astrology, numerology) & am adept at weaving in the threads of any system you use.
For this stage we plan 75-80 minutes together. We create space intentionally to slow down, dive beneath our surface knowing and tune into our deeper inner knowing.
I highly recommend you also plan som time prior to the session to do some light movement (such as walking to the session) and again after. My studio is one block from the Johanniter bridge and is very amenable to a walk along the Rhein before and after your session.
Integration pulls all the pieces together into a cohesive whole. It is the part that many people skip out on. But if you’re going to skip out on this, then you might as well skip out on the whole thing.
Integration begins as soon as the Expedition ends. We do this both actively and passively or receptively.
In addition to the movement that concludes your in person session, you will need: 20-30 minutes, a quiet space, access to online Field Notes Guide & wifi.
This phase continues like forever—we are always integrating. In the week following your session I am available via email for questions related to your Expedition that come up. You will receive a reply from me within 48 hours.

“I recommend you do it as a matter of self-care.” —@expatcranio
“Christine took away words, labels and names that I had allowed to become obstacles.” —Sonja
“Clarity. Getting clear about myself (huge!), who my authentic self is, what resonates with me, what does not, bringing my power back to me…This has enabled me to be the present version of me while I navigate life onward.” —Sheila
“When I feel like I am stagnating on some level and don't know the way forward. I need a fresh perspective from an un-biased / non-judgemental person.” —Amrita
“I was a little nervous to work with you because I didn’t “know” you. After working with you I think you are brilliantly wonderful. Such an asset. When I was feeling so stuck and didn’t know what direction to go in, you pulled me back to ground zero. You brought me back to myself. Such a gift, your straight shooting.” —Laura
“You are so freakishly on point. You just throw your gold dust out there & I just chuckle to myself about how good you are at this. You’re a gem. You make me laugh out loud. And think.” —Tracie
“I wasn't sure what to expect. I somehow expected you would be 'all over the place' like a thundershower. You are so relaxed and caring. Not even close to the thundershower I expected. More refreshing like a summer rain. Just what I needed.” —Sarah
“I loved the fast reply and arrangement of session.” —Bernadette
“I have to catch my breath. You are so good. I loved the attention to detail and willingness to go with it. And the honesty. The information you gave me has opened my eyes to so much, my goddess, wow! Seriously, that reading was a game changer for me.” —Robyn
“WOW. Ich bin immer noch total überwältigt…Deine Fokussierung, klare Inputs und vor allem Hilfsmittel an die Hand gegeben für die Umsetzung.” —Claudia
“very authentic & very useful & very spiritual, very person-centered”—Suzette
“…an emotional buffet”—Alicia
“…manage to state your read on the situation without sounding judgmental or imposing/generating any feelings of guilt or shame…it's a fine art to talk to people about themselves and what they're doing without triggering any of those dastardly tough emotions…you shoot straight—it's a relief to be met with frankness.” —Anne
“I felt a little nervous but Christine was very clear and quick to name what was going on. She's a big picture ‘gal who also can dive sharply into the detail and that brings both insight and pragmatism." -Vanessa

“The cards make me laugh.” -Suzette
“I’m able to deal with my job in a much more light-hearted way.” —Suzette
“You elevate one's ability to think clearly and focus on the core of any existing issue. You have the knack to help one put into perspective anything that binds their thinking and confines their ability, into the 4 quadrants of Stephen Covey and then nudge them into focusing on the ‘Urgent & Important’ quadrant. Almost like presenting the Eisenhower Decision Matrix in terms of customized solutions to one’s issues. You help people uncover their authentic truths to bring out the hidden reasons to clear the blocks.” —Amrita
“I'm in the middle of writing and designing my website and really enjoy it now instead of feeling I am in the middle of some struggle!…I feel this inner quietness.”—Sarah

I especially love going on Expeditions with people who are super confused and have a lot of information to sort through. Especially for: personal or passion projects, business, strategy, blockage reading, communication, relationships, Tarot Life Card reading, Birthday Readings, marketing strategy, course creation, integration in a foreign country & more.
Please Note: I do not give readings for: predictions, past life, legal, financial, pregnancy, compatibility, health matters, angel, pets, lottery, crime, nor questions about a 3rd party.
I do not predict the future—I help you step-outside-of-the-box and create your future.
My Expeditions almost always incorporate tarot & oracle cards. These aren’t your typical cad readings. These are interactive explorations. You are encouraged to ask questions & get refining clarity so you can leave with a clear understanding of where you are at now and build a clear action plan forward.
These work best if you bring a specific situation you want clarity on. Don’t make me guess why you came; this isn’t a psychic reading. Tell me.
I work especially well with people who are verbal processors and have a lot of muddled information to sift through and with people who need things to make logical, down-to-earth sense and want to take action. (scroll up to read about my style in clients’ own words)
I do my best to be trauma-aware, non-binary, ENM, gender, racially and culturally sensitive.
The goal is always: to help you find a loving, creative solution that is aligned to your true nature.
The main deck I use is the “Sincerely, Your Intuition” deck that I created.
Often I also choose from one of the other 50+ tarot and oracle decks in my library.
You are welcome to make a special deck request, if you’ve seen a deck you love on my IG card readings. (Do so when you schedule your reading.)
Readings are typically in English. But I speak Swiss German & German fluently-ish and welcome my Swiss German or German clients to speak to me in their native language, if desired.
Does this even need to be said? You are responsible for your choices. However, I do not subscribe to the belief that everything is in your life because you “manifested it or “chose it before birth”. Just as you do not control the weather, nor do you control the choices other people in our lives make that naturally have an impact on us. However, you do have responsibility for your choices within the weather patterns & people patterns.
While an Expedition is often highly impactful, one hour will never solve all your problems or make you rich in a hot minute.
Situations are complex entanglements of personal choices, interpersonal interactions, long-held trauma, and systemic conditions. One Expedition is not going to clear all that everything up.
… But what I see again & again is that a n Expedition opens a portal, helps to shift our attention to the big picture, to the energy of the situation, so that you can see new possibilities & make different choices that allows you to pivot and takes you to a whole new place. They will help you see your next step. And that step leads to another and then another. It’s beautiful.
